10 Times WCW Went Too Far

On 13 August 2000, Miss Hancock and Major Gunns waged war in a Mud ROTC match, a battle for the ages, a memorable match that is an absolute must for any student of this proud industry. Gunns won the bout after kicking Hancock in the stomach, but the story was just beginning. David Flair (Hancock's on-screen boyfriend at the time) immediately jumped in to check on his stricken lover, with the announcers heavily implying that her abdominal agony had nothing to do with the match. In other words, Miss Hancock was pregnant and something was up.

Over the next three months, Hancock's pregnancy became an integral part of the show. At first, the couple was happy, but that joy soon turned to anger when their wedding (shotgunned, of course) fell apart in the face of adultery and the reveal that David wasn't the father. Shock of shocks.

The premise of a 'Who is the daddy?' story isn't all that bad, but wrestling is at its dirt worst when it delves into the world of soap opera. Ric Flair was one suspect, as was Buff Bagwell (David and Buff wrestled in a First Blood DNA match, believe it or not), before Jeff Jarrett became suspect number one. I'm not sure if 'suspect' is the right term, but there we go.

And all of a sudden, the whole thing was forgotten. The storyline vanished from television for four months, before Hancock returned with Shawn Stasiak by her side. Pushing a stroller, she claimed that she made up the whole pregnancy for attention and that Stasiak was actually her 'baby'. Right.

As bad as modern day WWE is, it really doesn't hold a candle to WCW in 2000.
